Using Social Media to Connect with Other Entrepreneurs
If you’re looking to enrich your entrepreneurial journey by sharing with others, I have a few social media suggestions that will help:
· Follow entrepreneur Twitter Lists: A few months ago, Twitter launched a feature called “Lists,” which gave users the power to create lists of their favorite users. Many have used this to create Twitter lists of top entrepreneurs and startup founders.
Following these people and interacting with them is a good step towards building connections. Check out Listorious’ collection of entrepreneurship Twitter lists to start.
· Connect with amazing entrepreneurship communities: Entrepreneurs are already gathered in a lot of great places on the web. Finding these hidden gems of community and startup enthusiasm could be just what you’re looking for.
To start out, we suggest checking out Hacker News (a community sharing some of the best articles on startups, development, and human nature), TheFunded (focused around raising money for your startup), and PartnerUp (helps you find business partners and co-founders). For more, check out a list of Mashable’s favorite entrepreneur communities.
